First Order of Business: April Planning Commission Minutes read and approved through a motion made by Richard Overton, seconded by Bob Steele. Motion carried minutes were approved.

Zoning Administrator’s Report: Bob Cook noted two permits issued, one for a garage, and one for an addition to a pole barn. Volunteers are still needed for the Blight Ordinance Committee-at this time Mr. Rick Seidler and Mr. Bishop agreed to volunteer for the committee.

Zoning Board Secretary’s Report: No correspondence was received and secretary had no new issues to report.

Announcements: Doug Graham discussed the Workshop presented by MSU on May 29.2008. He noted that most time was spent on Master Plans for townships but noted there was a CD included with the booklet, which had several examples of ordinances, which would be useful in the future. He also noted that he would like to get additional copies for the Planning Commission. Doug mentioned a To Do List of getting together the annual report including the budget for the Planning Commission to be presented to the Regular Township Board before March 2009 so that they may include it in their annual budget.

New Business: Bob Cook asked that the Planning Commission put an age limit on mobile homes being brought into the township for permanent placement. A suggestion was made to reference the Bocca Building Codes regarding the type of roof pitches allowed on manufactured mobile homes. It was suggested that our current ordinance be changed to only allow a 2 ½’/12-pitch roof on mobile homes in the future. Doug Graham noted that the subject would be looked into and addressed at the next regular meeting.

Discussion of types of approved foundations on new dwellings took place. Once again, Bob Cook noted that pillar foundations do meet the present building code.

Old Business: The site plans for Mr. Hughes campground were presented by Bob Cook this evening, and he stated no criteria has been met at this point. Doug Graham stated, no further action could take place concerning the campground until all of the approvals are in and at that time, it can be presented at a future meeting for approval.

Public Comment: Mr. Bishop opened a discussion inquiring about the fencing requirements concerning the campground site. The December Public Hearing minutes were consulted by Doug Graham, and he stated the criteria as set forth in those minutes, which state, “A 4’ fence must enclose the property containing the campground”. No other public comments were received.

Meeting adjourned at 8:25Pm by Doug Graham, motion to adjourn made by Ernest Coleman, seconded by Chris Yens.
